Yes it is from USB, and it is frugal install. Although i am not sure what it means exactly. As i said, i'm new to all of this. I used to use ubuntu, back then whan i had HDD, but now i am forced to use puppy. and this way it is installed worked (and still is) fine for me, until i used it for comm, office, and browsing. But then i saw there is in fact very powerful software for puppy, and i decided to more explore this area. I expected difficulties, though.

It would help me if you told me why do ask all these q's since all solutions for other distros didn't include all this info.

The questions came cause I know you have that file.. Pfind should confirm. What concerned me was the I/O error, suggesting something wrong with the drive or file system in question.

Nevermind. I just want to know why are you asking me all this, because i want know, and remember.... i just need to know WHY for everything Something like Smith from matrix. Purpose, WHY. Those are my life Qs

Tell us, when you saved to usb, was it to the whole drive or as a save file?

I saved it as save.2fs file. I thought it was the only way to save it. And i installed it from windows, frome daemon tool ISO mounted, and saved complete.

Quote:

Do you remember if it was saved as ext2 or 3? The: mount cmd should confirm..

No it is not any of ext file systems. It is fat, since i installed it like save file

Quote:

Is this a generic flash drive or something like a SanDisk?

Silicon power USB stick, 8GB

Quote:

Do you have 528 as a bootable cdrom, or how is it Pup was installed in the first place?

I answered that. Through daemon ISO.

Quote:

Again, use Pfind and you'll see the file in question resides on your system with the sfs loaded..

Why am i gettin I/O error then? This is what is bugging me too. Evidently, the file is there.

Quote:

Ideally, and short of hw, you'd wanna run an fsck (file-system-check) on the unmounted drive.

I didn't get this one. run FSCK and look for what? Unmounted drive? What do you mean by this. How can i check drive that is unmounted? Did i get this wrong?
